For anyone to take the musings of ONE person as fact is, quite honestly, ignorant. It is not educating oneself, it's finding one thing that agrees with what you think and calling it fact.
But, that is, after all, your choice. Let's hope it's not a wrong one.

Drawing conclusions about a book's authenticity and the author's experiences before actually reading the book is ignorant as well.
